I learned how to fold this paper candle holder by following directions from Passengers on a Little Spaceship, right here. It's quick and fun! I used a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock. It was more difficult to fold than thinner paper, but made a very sturdy lantern. You can experiment with different sizes, colors, and thicknesses of paper. This size was good for a glass votive holder.

Hi Jessica. Glad you enjoyed making the lanterns. I've never had so many visitors to my blog in one day! Good to know a little bit of paper can please so many :) You've got some really fantastic ideas over here. Thanks for sharing (and for linking). -dionne @ passengers on a little spaceship

Looks really cool! Looking forward to try this out later. But I'm kinda worry that it will catch fire if you put candle into it lol. Anyway, thanks for sharing the link! Can't wait to make this tonight :D

I'm in love. These are the most adorable little lanterns! I featured them on my blog today, and sent my readers here. Thanks for sharing! http://ninered.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-origami-star-lantern.html
